In the spirit of dana, as a gift, and in honour of Burma's peaceful transition to democracy, we at the World Dharma Online Institute are offering free participation in a 6 month multimedia Dharma course led by Aung San Suu Kyi's friend, colleague and co-author Alan Clements.

Building on The Voice of Hope, and based on the new book A Future to Believe In, the World Dharma Training Course is a distillation of Alan Clements’ life work — a journey that has taken him from the sacredness of monastic silence deep into the dark heart of war zones. By merging the models of personal and planetary transformation found within his "Freedom Trilogy" - Instinct for Freedom, The Voice of Hope, and A Future to Believe In – The Course illuminates the interplay between our inner journey (the exploration of consciousness and its contents) with its expression in the outer world though "the liberating art of being human" or that of "reclaiming the totality of our everyday lives."

The Course, presented over six months delves into the theory, practices and teaching of World Dharma — an experiential, non-dogmatic approach to life-transformation and liberation from source conflicts and release into higher forms of freedom. World Dharma is unique to each individual and evolved through the artful interplay of one’s yoga/ dharma/ awareness with everything: no exceptions. Alan also calls this self-authenticating process the yoga of freedom — that of finding our liberation in every circumstance we face.

It is my hope that this message will be received with the spirit in which it is given, that it will inspire, that it will foster collaboration and fortify the search for understanding, tolerance and compassion much needed at this time.

Please pass the invitation on to your friends, your family, your colleagues, neighbours, peers, and to anyone you feel will be moved to take part. It's a gift. There are no strings, no card details needed, no further action required at any time on your part. We simply want to give this course the audience it deserves, and to give that audience a course that will shake them to the core of their being.

Many thanksSo far this free course is costing me $585 . . . it requires a 'gift code' for the free version?

Is free a technical term? As in free with every course purchase? Sorry for any misunderstanding.

This is not an endorsement it is for everyone's information:

How to get the course for free is explained on the facebook page (see link in first post). Registering for the course does mean giving personal information such as name, street address and email address.
